"Amazing architecture, beautiful place to relax the day away by the pool… fantastic local breakfast and lovely staff!"

Emerald Bay Resort Mirissa

"There was no Wi-Fi in the room, and they couldn't fix it after a four-day stay. The pool was dirty, so I didn't want to swim in it. On the plus side, the room was spacious."

vrihee resort

"We stayed at Vrihee Resort and it exceeded every expectation. Location: Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the Kokmaduwa Expressway exit, getting there was quick and effortless. Entrance: We were warmly welcomed by a friendly gentleman at the gate whose big smile set the tone for our stay. There is ample parking and walking through the massive entrance doors reveals a serene landscape of ponds, mini paddy fields, and greenery. Surroundings: The resort is thoughtfully designed to preserve trees and nature, creating a peaceful and immersive environment. Suite: We booked a suite that was comfortable, featuring a cozy bed, generous storage, a fully equipped en-suite bathroom and the highlight? A private plunge pool!!! Food and Service: Dinner was an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed a jumbo prawn dish along with Sri Lankan rice and curry. Both absolutely delicious. The team kindly customized the flavors to suit our preferences. Dining takes place beside the main pool in an open-air setting, where you can constantly hear birds and nearby wildlife. Incredibly calming and relaxing. The food continued to impress throughout our stay. Breakfast featured beautifully prepared Sri Lankan dishes tailored to our taste and on their recommendation, we tried the pizza for lunch. Another delightful surprise. Connectivity: Connectivity was excellent thanks to complimentary Starlink service. Team: Manager Donald and his team are outstanding. Their attention to detail and genuine and friendly care ensured our holiday was as enjoyable as possible. For whom? The location is perfect for surfers, with popular surf spots just minutes away and the peaceful setting makes it equally ideal for families, couples, groups of friends or even solo travellers. This is a hidden gem we highly recommend. We will definitely be back."

Mirissa Gate

"Avoid at all costs, hotel is falling apart and disgusting. Dirty, expensive and the worst hotel of our trip. We stayed in hotels 1/4 of this price which were 5x better. No shower door. Mould, dead flies, lights that never do off. No door handle or cupboard handles, dangerous electrics and staff do not care. Other guest partying outside until 5am with stereo and staff nowhere to be seen."

Atulya Lake View Mirissa - Resort and Spa

"After the Sinhala New Year, we wanted some quiet time and decided to spend a couple of nights at our favorite resort. This time, an old friend and his wife joined us. I recommended this resort over his first choice, and they were very happy with the decision. They found the place to be quiet, classy, and well-managed, with excellent service. Three of us had professional massages that were pre-arranged by the resort. Next day, the ladies decided to explore the nearby beach towns, and the guys stayed back and enjoyed some relaxed conversations, reminiscing about good old times. The staff made sure we had ice-cold Lion Lager, to fuel our memory banks. I stayed there last November with my uncle and aunt who were visiting from overseas. My uncle, originally from nearby Matara, was really pleased to find such a nice place close to his ancestral home. I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for peace and quiet, with beautiful surroundings and excellent service. It’s great for families, groups of friends, or colleagues spend some quality times together. Thanks again to Upatissa and the crew for looking after us so well."

The Spice House Mirissa

"We stayed in the Spice House and I can’t recommend this hotel enough. It’s in such a beautiful location, set in the original jungle with monkeys, chipmunks and beautiful birds all around. The rooms are very comfortable with amazing views into their gardens and the jungle. The infinity pool was amazing and the room further down the property was very quiet and perfect for couples seeking privacy and their own space. We can’t thank Phil and Wathsala enough for looking after us so well and extending our stay when Emirates cancelled our flight home, they are the perfect hosts. Turtle beach is just a 3 minute walk away and lovely restaurants just along the main street. Would highly recommend staying there, you will not be disappointed. Many thanks to all the staff, who just couldn’t do enough for you. Wishing you both every success in the future. Margaret MacDonald"

"The accomodation with great location was clean and comfortable. There was bathroom with toilet, TV, wifi and air-condition in each room. There was a terrace with a beautiful view of the ocean. The communication with the manager was great. I reccomend."

Triple O Six

"Of all the places I stayed in Sri Lanka, this hotel was my favourite, it felt incredibly luxurious from the moment we arrived. The scent throughout the hotel was beautifully intoxicating and the waiting area was stunning. We received such a warm welcome on arrival. It was a real bonus to have a lift to take us and our luggage to our floor, it meant we didn't have to rely on staff help at check out. We got a tour of our accommodation, our room was gorgeous, far more spacious and immaculate than we expected. We had a stunning balcony view towards the beach and could even see Coconut Tree Hill, we chose this location for its proximity to this beauty spot. The bathroom was separate to the toilet and absolutely huge, the waterfall shower was pure heaven and I especially appreciated the HOT water. Everything we needed was provided in the room, along with lots of thoughtful extra amenities that really elevated our stay. We were able to walk to Coconut Tree Hill for sunset and head out for dinner afterwards, which made the location perfect for us. The beach is a little further away, but still accessible. I couldn’t wait to get into bed and it did not disappoint, it was incredibly comfortable and I slept so well. The buffet breakfast is set in its own charming area, with a lovely little bridge connecting the two sides. The selection was great and had everything you would want for a hearty start to the day. We didn’t get the chance to use the pool, it is located near reception and slightly shaded by trees. This was the only small downside for us as it felt like it lacked a bit of privacy, however it would not stop us from staying here again, the hotel is far too good to miss, and with the beach nearby, the pool is hardly needed. At Triple O Six you get what you pay for!!"

Village Star Rest-Mirissa

"The hotel is not on the main road, you have to turn in a little over a hundred meters, but it is very close to the sea. The beach is just a few hundred meters away, and you can watch the sunset from the nearby hills. 🌇 One advantage of not being on the main road is that it is very quiet. It was the best sleep I had in Sri Lanka this time. There were no monkeys, animals, or cars. The price-performance ratio is good."

Peacock Wings Guest

"Good location. It is in beach road and plenty of options to eat outside. Everything is in walkable distance. We had sea view room which gave a beautiful start to the day in early morning. The only thing that troubled me was there was no elevator hence I had to take the luggage through stairs to 2nd floor. The owner helped me as well to carry the luggage. I would definitely recommend this place for your stay as it provides a good atmosphere. They have a kitchen for your self cooking where you can prepare your own food. Overall the experience was superb. Will surely visit again. Photo- view from the hotel room."
